JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A capacitance of \(2\ μF\) is required in an electrical circuit across a potential difference of \(1.0\ kV\). A large number of \(1\ μF\) capacitors are available which can withstand a potential difference of not more than \(300\ V\). The minimum number of capacitors required to achieve this is

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(16\)
  3. C \(24\)
  4. D \(32\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(32\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To get a capacitance of \(2\, \mu \mathrm{F}\) arrangement of capacitors of capacitance \(1\, \mu \mathrm{F}\) as shown in figure \(8\) capacitors of \(1\, \mu \mathrm{F}\) in parallel with four such branches in series i.e., \(32\) such capacitors are required.…
